About the Cause:
The My Ashleah Foundation was born from a place of unimaginable loss—the tragic passing of Mark and Lorraine Richards’ daughter, Ashleah. In her memory, the foundation now stands as a beacon of hope, reaching out to those walking through grief, addiction recovery, and life’s hardest battles. The foundation’s mission is simple yet profound: to bring people together, offer healing, and create lasting change in the community.
“This event is more than just golf and dinner—it’s about uniting our community in hope, healing, and purpose,” said Mark Richards, Co-Founder of the My Ashleah Foundation. “Lorraine and I are beyond grateful for the outpouring of support from our local community, and we believe God has orchestrated this weekend for something bigger than we can imagine.”
